Concept Synonymy Sample Clauses

Concept Synonymy. In the second scenario the two agents have initially their contrast sets K1 and K2 are as shown in Table 3. The only example e1 presented to both agents is an Armchair. A1 sends Assert (armchair, e1) to A2 and A2 sends Assert (recliner, e1) to A1. It leads to a disagreement from both of A1 and A2. Since armchair ƒ∈ K2 and recliner ƒ∈ A1 neither, both agents can send an Ask message. Let’s say that A1 receives the Ask message first; A1 will respond with Answer (armchair, Table 3. A1 and A2 contrast sets C. set Agent 1 contrast set K1 Concept C1 C2 C3 Sign stool chair armchair I(C) α1: no.arm, no.back α2: no.arm, with.back α3: with.arm, with.back C. set Agent 2 contrast set K2 Concept C4 C5 C6 Sign stool chair recliner I(C) β1: no.arm, no.back β2: no.arm, with.back β3: with.arm, with.back α3), where α3 is the generalization that was used by A1 to categorize e1. A2 creates a new set of examples E(C7) = ei : ei E(C6) α3 ei . No contrast set has been created before so A2 creates K2j . Since E(C7) = E(C6), a new concept C7 = (armchair, I(C6), E(C6) ∪ e1) is created and added to K2j along with C4 and C5. Accept (armchair,e1) is sent to A1 by A2. We notice that if A1 had been faster than A2 to send its Ask message, it is recliner that would have been used to designate an Armchair by both agents. This would not have affect the reach of mutual intelligibility.
